How do I prevent html escaping when using ViewTemplate tag to make templates

[Cyrus Murphy]

I have a template that I want to use whenever a tiddler has "testtag" tag. I have it tagged with "$:/tags/ViewTemplate" (see attached template.gif). Here's the contents:

<$list filter="[is[current]tag[testtag]]">
test

<<<
indented text
<<<

*test list item 1
*test list item 2

---

<hr>

what's up

</$list>

I am expecting that all "testtag" tagged tiddlers will show the wikitext formatting but the HTML is getting escaped in the process so that <<< is turning in to &lt;&lt;&lt; for example. See attached testtag.gif to see how the tiddler is being formatted. 

Is there anyway to prevent this behavior?

The content isn't actually being "escaped".  The problem is that the content inside the <$list> widget is being output using "inline mode", and some of the formatting (such as the "<<<" for blockquotes) only works in "block mode".  To fix this, simply add a blank line between the opening <$list> widget and the "test" text that follows, like this:

<$list filter="[is[current]tag[testtag]]">

test

That will force the content inside the $list into block mode, allowing all the formatting syntax to be parsed as intended.

Perfect, just what I needed! Love banging my head on things because of one carriage return.
